noy was at hand. Mrs. John Mason
was among those who began getting
in readiness for departure. As, dc
taching the cloak from the hook, she
withdrew its rich folds from behind
her chair, Tad lightly touched the soft
fur of the lining by way of n mute
farewell; after doing which he. began
making his own preparations for lcav-

bare jacket tightly about him, ran his
fingers through his mop of curly hair
and pulled n shabby cloth cap well
over his forehead. Then. with n fast
beating heart, Tad awaited the finale.
